With a group of overweight women, this study aims to increase our understanding of the relation between body image issue and health behaviour. The study also looks at how social status and academic achievement relate to body image disorders and health behaviour in overweight women. To engage in this study, 102 overweight women were chosen using a descriptive correlational study design. Utilizing five-point Likert style scales, their body image disorder and health-related behaviours were measured. Results of the study showed that the means scores of the body image disorders scale and its dimensions, and the health behaviour scale and its dimensions were statistically significant at (α≤0.05). A strong negative statistically significant correlation between body image disorders and health behaviour among sample of overweight women were found. Moreover, results presented no statistically significant at (α ≤ 0.05) in participants' body image disorders and health behaviours based on social status variable. Furthermore no statistically significant at (α ≤ 0.05) in participants' body image disorders according to academic qualification variable. Finally, the results revealed a statistically significant at (α ≤ 0.05) in participants health behaviour regarding the academic qualification variable.
Objectives: The Covid-19 virus appeared for the first time in China in late 2019 and spread to most countries in the world, and in 2020 it spread to Jordan. Then the government took many preventive steps that it spread among the people to prevent the disease from spreading. This study aimed to identify the extent of Jordanian society's awareness of COVID-19 resistance through the association of immunity and a healthy lifestyle. Methods: The researcher used the descriptive survey method with the use of a questionnaire for the study, which was distributed electronically and randomly. The study sample consisted of 1366 male and female respondents Results: The results of the study were that the pattern of dietary habits, dietary behavior, or methods of disease resistance are not at the required level in Jordanian society. On the other hand, sports practices were good and contributed to the prevention of the emerging corona disease. The study also found that there were statistically significant differences in the level of the pattern of dietary habits. Or food behavior that protects against the spread of the new Corona virus disease due to the social gender in favor of males, and to the variable of the age group in favor of the group (18-27) years, and among the results of the study there were no statistically significant differences at the level of significance (0.05) in the level of dietary habits pattern or Dietary behavior that protects against the spread of the emerging corona virus disease is attributed to the variable of occupation, the variable of marital status, and the variable of the monthly income level. Conclusion: In light of the results reached, the researcher recommends the following: Firstly, raising community awareness about healthy eating habits that must be followed during the Corona pandemic, and secondly, setting up a mechanism to communicate with community members about the importance of exercising and its role in maintaining a healthy immune system.
This study aims to explore the types of learning strategies used by language teachers in EFL classrooms. Additionally, it investigates how language teachers utilize technology to engage EFL students in cognitive and metacognitive activities that facilitate foreign language learning. The study employed a mixed-methods approach, involving 48 language teachers (29 males and 19 females) from two private universities in southern Amman. The participants were divided into two groups based on their specialty majors (English Language and Literature and English Language and Translation). They completed a survey and participated in a focus-group interview. The findings of the study indicated that language teachers in EFL classrooms found tablets and laptops to be the most effective learning strategies. Additionally, the study did not identify any statistically significant gender-related differences in the application of these strategies. However, it was observed that summarizing and evaluating were the most frequently utilized strategies by language teachers in EFL classrooms. Furthermore, the study highlighted that the absence of learning technology, such as tablets and laptops, in EFL classrooms has a negative impact on instructional delivery and consumes time. These learning technologies are considered cognitive tools that enhance language learning.
